This is my first post. Thanks for the welcome. A better photo would be needed to make a determination I'm sure. I only have my phone, no other means of magnifying a coin. Guess what I'm asking is if it's close enough to be looked into further

Given the photo posted, I'm not seeing the 'spear'. Where was your 2005 nickel minted? Check this from PCGS:

This statement is a true sign you are well on your way. I've been a collector for most of my life and I'm a pretty old feller. I still learn something new everyday, whether in coins or everyday life.

I don't see a speared bison here.
I'm sure you can find an example online to compare with your coin.

Not even a FS-# for this. MS-65 $375.00 Noted on the slab though. Just a die event.

After looking at the examples that were posted I'm guessing what I see is a coincidence scratch.

I really do appreciate the responses. I'm hoping the picture I uploaded gives a better example of what I'm seeing. I will no doubt do some upgrading very soon. Thanks again

I use my phone camera for almost all my photos to present here. I have learned to use the zoom or micro function to be able to hold the phone up further away in order for it to get a better focus.
Holding my phone up about 1.5 to 2 feet above the coin and zooming in to fill the screen then letting auto focus to do its work will help you immensely.

Now I'm using a modern smart phone not a flip. not sure how the cameras on those work.
